Dear California,You know I like you. You are a terrific state to hang out in and you look smashing. You have good sushi, wine, and mud baths – all of which I partaked in to the extreme when I was there.Your B&B's beds were big and soft. Your dogs were friendly.I enjoyed driving in a convertible up and down the coast. It was dreamy.

But listen – this governor thing is just ridiculous. I mean, it's ridiculous from the get-go. It's ridiculous on so many levels that it makes my head hurt.

I don't know. I am feeling so smug here on the east coast all of a sudden. Your whole cool point quotient in my book is hurting.And it hurts me.

I guess what I want to say is this: you guys can't diss any other states for a while. Not even Florida.Why don't we take a break for a while?You guys do your little soul searching and we'll go visit other states and countries.

We're going to Montreal this weekend. Do they really all speak French there? I know zero French.

I was really hoping last night would be the last we'd hear of Arnold, until his next action movie came out.I wonder if he meant to win. Maybe running was just a way to jump start his career. I've never been to Cal. but this is still depressing.

Everyone in Montreal speaks perfect English as well as French. Unlike the new governor of California, who speaks neither.
